If it does worry you, why not just install a harness bar? Easily reversible and no holes to drill. Doesn't have rollover protection level of the roll bar I suppose, but in my opinion, if you're "going for broke" on the track, best to get a purpose built track vehicle, full welded in cage, HANS device, etc.
Good points. I currently have a BK harness truss bar now but the clubs I am doing events with this year (Not PCA) require I use OEM setup or racing seat + bar + harness. I do have a HANS brace and full gear I use for crap can racing that I would be wearing if I were to go this route. The bottom line tho is I don't compete in any way with this car I just enjoy it I'm not in a hurry to figure this out just working on long term plans for the car. I have some leaks I have to finish tackling before it can see a track day.
